Very big difference and be surprised if you had rats to be honest.

If you are in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market, you used to be able to get duplexes for $50k to $100k and make it cash flow quickly.

It's a competitive market and most of the people that get in trouble here are ones that buy blindly without actually figuring out the numbers, etc.You'd be surprised the number of times I get asked after month one if their electric bill of $xxx or whatever is normal, and the thought running through my head is "how did you not  check things like that before you committed half a million dollars to something?"

Newton's law of tax: What goes down must come up.Everyone enjoys the sweet benefits of bonus depreciation, but what happens when you sell?

After 6 months of non-payment, we were able to perform an eviction for this tenant.

Passive Activity Losses: Are there ways to offset my W-2 income with rental losses, or do I need to qualify as a real estate professional for that to work?

@Sundone Boutvyseth-the lowest Down for a SFR  rental  property is  15% ...if you are able to  locate an  option with 10%  down - this is likely  going to be pricey  but if you need to minize the down - it  might be  worth  using 

I don't know how much you have but a build to rent triplex all in our market is 150k liquid normally with full return of capital in 9 months.

We are very excited to share your investing journey with you and here to help you reach your goals however we can. 

However, if I don’t secure an eviction order within the next two months, I’ll send him your message.
